JBossDeveloper

hi

i ve done the steps provided by wiki in both the servers. However i ve tested the cluster by killing the JBoss serving the request. And again made another request in the browser-which failed.

Am i testing it in the right way by specifying the request as:-
http:\\<IPaddressof dead server>\8080

Also i could see 5 files with name mode_jk (as listed below)

..\native\apache-1.3\mod_jk.c
..\native\apache-1.3\mod_jk.dsp
..\native\apache-1.3\mod_jk.exp
..\native\apache-2.0\mod_jk.c
..\native\apache-2.0\mod_jk.dsp

From these which one i should select and rename as 'mod_jk.so' to put inside the APACHE_HOME\modules folder (As explained in step #2 of jboss-wiki http://www.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=UsingMod_jk1.2WithJBoss)

if possible kindly explain me this step (step#2 of wiki) as it appears little confusing.

thanking you

hi,

i mean

is it the right way to test the cluster?

http:\\<SERVER#1>:8080\

where <SERVER#1> is the dead node of the cluster.

thank you

i m new to Apache2 and mod_jk. So can you please tel me which port i should try?

thanking you

sree

when i tried http:\\localhost, i got the plain text in bold letters as

It Works

Not Found
The requested URL /web-console was not found on this server.

hi

please help. I m eager to watch the failover mechanism...

I dont have the notion that a dead JBoss server can do any thing. But also dont know how to hit the Apache port as you said. (which port number i should give ?).

still i m not sure whether there is any error in setting up those configs as explained in jboss-wiki.The only way to know that is to hit the apache port. which port number ishould use.

Kindly help me..

thank you

Hi,

i have read the Apache server configuration documentation. But still i have some doubts regarding some values of atributes of VIRTUAL HOST tag

I am sure about the value i have given for JkMount.

What should be the value of DocumentRoot that i have to specify in the httpd.conf file of Apache2\conf ?. I dont know which directory i have to specify here? The documentation says:-

DocumentRoot directive sets the directory from which httpd will serve files. Unless matched by a directive like Alias, the server appends the path from the requested URL to the document root to make the path to the document.(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#documentroot)

<VirtualHost _._._.209:80>
 ServerAdmin me@abcd.com
 DocumentRoot <PLEASE HELP,I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND>
 ServerName _._._.209

JkMount /TestApp/* loadbalancer
</VirtualHost>

when i tried http:\\_._._.209\TestApp fed up with seeing the error...

Internal Server ErrorThe server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, admin@--.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Here is my workers.properties, where (_._._ represents the first 3 parts of IP address here). Exactly the same file is ther in both the Apache servers\conf.

# Define list of workers that will be used
# for mapping requests
# The configuration directives are valid
# for the mod_jk version 1.2.18 and later
#
worker.list=loadbalancer,status

# Define Node1
# modify the host as your host IP or DNS name.
worker.node1.port=8009
worker.node1.host=node1._._._.209
worker.node1.type=ajp13
worker.node1.lbfactor=1
# worker.node1.connection_pool_size=10 (1)

# Define Node2
# modify the host as your host IP or DNS name.
worker.node2.port=8009
worker.node2.host= node2._._._.124
worker.node2.type=ajp13
worker.node2.lbfactor=1
# worker.node1.connection_pool_size=10 (1)

# Load-balancing behaviour
worker.loadbalancer.type=lb
worker.loadbalancer.balance_workers=node1,node2

# Status worker for managing load balancer
worker.status.type=status

# Test App
/TestApp=loadbalancer
/TestApp/*=loadbalancer

Also i ve read somewhere that JBoss should be started first before starting Apache2. I tried that also and failed
